Whether it's an Oswald, or an Osama, the folks will always be accepting of the government's preposterous claims of Lone Killers, or nefarious supervillains , it seems. They need to stop watching things that subconsciously lead them to believe such things make sense.
If those "Islamo Terror"fiends had the power to send out these highly trained cells to commit such elaborate and unprecedented acts of "war" (that "Pearl Harbor like" dealy ready-made for the Project for a New American Century gentleman), why is it that those automatic scoffers at all things Conspiracy-ish , think the Americans could not have done it, when they are the only ones with means to carry out the day of 9/11 and it's aftermath with such deliberateness (which the newscasters made a special point of repeating on that day: it was all done with such Click-click-click precision). Thinking about 9/11 (or war and occupations, and other hideous matters) with an open mind doesn't mean opening up your head to every impossible-sounding idea about drone planes and Tomahawk missiles, et al..It does mean giving equal weight to the speculative ideas until you can prove it otherwise . Especially when no convincing official story has been put forth to dispel doubts about Bush/Cheney's covert motives behind war. 'Til then, you're another paranoid nut with a hidden agenda, to deny the possibility of an encroaching fascist dictatorship in the West. Of corse, namecalling hardly helps -be it Wingnut, Swizzelstick, or Fascistbootlicker- in bringing to light who is really culpable for the 9/11 attacks,etc... Yet it's all a helpless mess now, that Habeas Corpus is gone in my country. As your politicians are little more than lackeys for ours now, I'd understand why you'd want to be disbelieving of any speculation that could lead you down dark troubled avenues. But that's where we're all headed, I'm afraid. Maybe we should all stop sifting through the ashes of the recent past and take focus on the not-to-distant past of the 1930's and how it relates to our present and so forth. How much easier it must be to believe the narratives of Papa Nation, So difficult to stay awake when capping every day with The Stories.

Why we all need to cut down the terror mongerers reign, whether they live in "spider holes"or big white houses....Listen to this upperclassman lay it down the line! :
metamars Jul 11 2005, 11:55 PM QUOTE George and Tony Get their al-Qaeda Fix Monday, July 11, 2005 By Greg Palast The tooth fairy, Santa Clause, WorldCom profits, the Easter Bunny, al-Qaeda. The cruel, evil jerks who blew up the London subway last week, despite appropriating al-Qaeda's name for their website and T-shirts, have about as much to do with al-Qaeda as a Beatles tribute band has to do with the Fab Four. For all the horror, hoopla and hair-pulling, this was no September 11. Timmy McVeigh slaughtered a heck of a lot more people in Oklahoma City with his cow-poop bomb. I'm not belittling the heartbreaking hideousness of this crime, but let's get the facts straight. If al-Qaeda is the Panzer Division of terrorism, these London bombers were terrorism's Cub Scouts. We're talking a few pounds of nitro wired to a clock -- a design badly copied off the Internet. A witness watched some Arabic-looking teenager nervously checking his bag on a bus which, London's un-hysterical police now believe, he accidentally triggered, blowing apart himself and a bunch of unlucky commuters. Al-Qaeda this ain't. All the evidence is that this half-assed attack was the work of some poor young Muslim schmucks, possibly whipped into a frenzy by the mewling mullah of Finsbury Park, Omar Bakri Mohammed, a cleric who enjoyed the comfortable middle-class dullness of England during the week while on weekends preaching, "a 9/11, day after day after day" to punish his Western hosts. It's not al-Qaeda, but for George and Tony, it's good enough. Blair's Foreign Secretary dramatically dashed out to tell us that the explosions had the "hallmarks of al-Qaeda." Our Commander in Chief, looking as commanding as possible (no reading of kiddie stories this time), could not have been more satisfied. The "hallmarks of al-Qaeda"? That's not true and Blair knows it. And Bush knows it. And that's no little matter, my friends. Because Blair and Bush are al-Qaeda junkies. They've sold us on everything from fingerprinting five-year olds to invading Baghdad to tolerating plummeting paychecks all on the slick line that we are under attack by a well-trained, well-armed, well-funded hidden army called al-Qaeda. But our War President and War Prime Minister are having a little problem with their war on terror. The enemy's gone AWOL. Except when we go LOOKING for trouble -- as in invading a Mesopotamian country -- trouble pretty much stopped looking for us. Even September 11. Forgive me for pointing this out, but no matter how horrific, it was in the end the deed of a couple dozen fundamentalist fruitcakes with box-cutters hankering for a hot time with virgins in the next life who got "lucky." Yes, unlike the London attack, the "luck" of the September 11 hijackers required the sick genius of monied operatives and a Washington administration that operated with eyes wide shut toward Saudi gangsterism. But now al-Qaeda's luck's run out, not because Bush has us taking off our shoes in airports, but because, overwhelmingly, Muslims in this world really have no attraction to killing kids or commuters. For Bush and Blair, organized terror's diminishing powers was a political problem -- until last week, when the al-Queda addicts of the White House and Downing Street got a new terror fix. Even if it wasn't the real al-Qaeda, it was enough for them to mainline into the body politic a big, fat dose of fear. Now, with world media all jumped up on its latest fear high, Bush and Blair can resume their sales pitch: more weaponry, less liberty. FDR calmed a nation when he said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." But the Bush and Blair slogan is, "We have nothing to sell but fear itself." **** Greg Palast is the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

Wise, I haven't seen any proclivity for Truth Telling to be the province of gov't or non-gov't individuals.

As a spin-off to 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, there is also controversy now surrounding missing US funds.
A BBC Radio investigation has revealed that of all the funds sent to Iraq to help pay for the countries reconstruction it is estimated that an amount of over $8 BILLION of American funds cannot be accounted for. Meaning that this huge amount has simply gone missing. Through a mixture of mismanagement, fraud, bad auditing and plain incompetance the money trail cannot be found. Experts who have been asked to probe into the lost funds have hit a brick wall. The question is who or what organisations (American or otherwise) have pocketed the money? It has also been claimed that millions of dollars gained from the Iraqi oil production are also unaccounted for. While soldiers die in battle, some people are getting richer from the turmoil in Iraq.

I'm wondering how much the Private Sector is responsible for the wholesale slaughter of "insurgents", and so on.
The official Boys there should take only a little of the blame, never eclipsing the real perpetrator's who are keeping Iraq in chaos.

Well, I have a neighbor who has a new Hummer. He cut down a Torry Pine tree (native and rare here) on a fellow neighbors property --I tell no lie!

These miserable craven locusts have only one agenda: Destroy all that hinders their myopic, monumental selfishness.
